    no it doesn't help, not even in the slightest. in fact it is a rather moronic response to someone who is reporting lags / lockups with the newer "better, faster, more secure" product.

    Correct use Revo Uninstaller. Then hide the new edge update with the 'hide updates' program. You ask why would MS do it. Cause they can and I guess they think the new version is better, which it is not. As many have pointed out.

    Will someone please explain to me why I have to do this garbage to change back?

    1. Uninstall Chromium browser first
    2. Launch Registry Editor
    3. Visit - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate

    On the right side create 32-bit dword value and name it 'Allowsxs'

    Double-click and set its value data to 1. 

    If I wanted Chromium as a browser I would have done it myself.

    Do software people make changes just to do so or it to make life miserable for the consumer.

    I thought it was showing the new changes and going to give me the option. Nope. STUPID!!! Should have purchased a MacBook.

    could not agree more!!! so F*&()*( lagged and locked up with this new version. why??????

    It's easier to install REVO Uninstaller and follow the directions. Then go into your apps or downloads and find the little e Edge and reinstall it. It works--if I can do it--you can.
